Hi, I'm Dr. Felice Gersh, an integrative OB GYN. Here to answer another question from the plusOne community, how can I help soothe the symptoms of menopause?

The gold standard and most effective treatment for all menopausal symptoms is hormone replacement therapy or HRT. It's incredibly safe and offers tremendous benefits, especially for hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and bone health. For women who can't or prefer not to take hormones, there are other medications that can help with specific symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats.

But beyond hormones or medications, lifestyle changes can play a huge role in how you feel during menopause. Prioritizing sleep. Following a nutrient-rich diet. Exercising regularly and managing stress can have a profound impact on your overall wellbeing.

For those struggling with vaginal dryness or discomfort, there are several options. Vaginal estradiol, over the counter lubricants and intimate devices like the plusOne menopause massager can make a real difference.

The menopause massager is an intimate wellness device designed to support blood flow, relaxation, and muscle tone. It may also improve intimate function satisfaction in overall pelvic health. Remember, menopause is a natural part of aging, but you don't have to suffer through its symptoms.

If you have concerns. I encourage you to talk to a menopause informed healthcare provider for more tips on managing menopause and women's health. Follow the plusOne Wellness Collective to see what question we answer next. Take care.
